Offshoring as a Service

There is a need for “make-or-buy analysis” on a strategic level. Found a good document about “Process for Conducting a Make/Buy Analysis“. Have modified it to include CORE and NON-CORE concept.

How should the strategic value and core competencies be assessed? Many a times there is no common agreement due to subjective evaluation. Specially in an IT company, it is difficult to assess core.

Gartner provides some high level guidance as to the selection and assessment approach for a selective outsourcing.

This can then be used to provide a graded view to facilitate selective sourcing.
